This is exactly right. The Jews in Germany probably thought they had nothing to hide before the Nazis came to power.

- reitanqild 8y agoAs someone who grew up in a "nothing to to hide - nothing to fear" environment this is what I realized as I grew older as well. Another more recent example: I guess those who opposed Erdogan a few years ago aren't too comfortable now. Short summary: even if you have reason to trust the police department to not abuse your data (I like the local police around here), do you also: - trust everyone of them not to snoop around? - trust every contractor and sysadmin now and in the future? - In a time where giant data leaks occurs multiple times a year, do you trust authorities to always be patched and vigilant? - all this is before we start talking about 3 letter agency stuff, neighboring nations that have a bad habit of invading others etc. Edit: fixed a number of spelling mistakes etc.
